À propos de cet audio

One of Inc.com’s “Six Books You Need to Read in 2020 (According to Bill Gates, Satya Nadella, and Adam Grant)”

Adam Grant’s number one pick of his top 20 books of 2020

One of Six Groundbreaking Books of Spring 2020 (according to Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Dan Pink, and Adam Grant).

A former rocket scientist reveals the habits, ideas, and strategies that will empower you to turn the seemingly impossible into the possible.

Rocket science is often celebrated as the ultimate triumph of technology. But it's not. Rather, it's the apex of a certain thought process—a way to imagine the unimaginable and solve the unsolvable. It's the same thought process that enabled Neil Armstrong to take his giant leap for mankind, that allows spacecraft to travel millions of miles through outer space and land on a precise spot, and that brings us closer to colonizing other planets.

Fortunately, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to think like one.

In this accessible and practical book, Ozan Varol reveals nine simple strategies from rocket science that you can use to make your own giant leaps in work and life—whether it's landing your dream job, accelerating your business, learning a new skill, or creating the next breakthrough product. Today, thinking like a rocket scientist is a necessity. We all encounter complex and unfamiliar problems in our lives. Those who can tackle these problems—without clear guidelines and with the clock ticking—enjoy an extraordinary advantage.

Think Like a Rocket Scientist will inspire you to take your own moonshot and enable you to achieve liftoff.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Smart and witty, Varol's masterful analysis explains complicated scientific principles and connects them to ordinary life for a mainstream audience."—Publishers Weekly

"Varol's polymathic background—rocket scientist, law professor, public speaker—makes him an engaging guide for this book, which cannily blends memoir, pop science, and self-help manual...A charming and insightful airplane read on innovation."—Kirkus Reviews

"The scientific method of observing, developing a hypothesis, testing it and revising as needed has survived centuries for a reason: It works. And, as bona fide rocket scientist Ozan Varol shows, that approach—plus boundless curiosity—is handy whether you're designing a Mars lander or figuring out what to have for dinner."—Discover Magazine

Think Big

February 2022 | 3.5/5
A former 'rocket scientist' takes us on a journey of first principles and thought experiments.

I really enjoyed the history of rocket science presented in the book. The content was well researched, and using examples from many industries helped keep the content engaging.

My opinion of the book shifted as we got deeper and deeper into the content - it felt unnecessarily long winded, and repetitive.

For an introduction to the scientific thought process, this is a great guide. However, it may be a little light, if you have spent any time with the material previously.

Great book, badly read

Mr Varol has written a great, very insightful book. But though he is a good writer, he is not a trained comedian or actor, and his reading skills are not of great quality. He has a systematic tendency to lower his voice at the end of his sentences, causing the last words to be inaudible. It’s very annoying. I had to guess from the context the end of his sentences… I should have read this book instead of listening to its Audible version!

An interesting jaunt

Very interesting perspectives by the author that do actually fall into real life situations. Definitely a re-listen book.

Thanks for writing this abstract way of seeing things.

Chalk full of pragmatic wisdom

Walked away with concrete action items, feeling enthusiastic and ready to get to work. Of particular interest to amateur astronomers and space enthusiasts.
